"Our Dear Cassie"

For our Cassie in our hearts you will always be,
To treasure the memories of Daddy you and me.

One of the longest nights of my life was so many months ago today,
It was agony the whole night – aloud I did pray.

I know you heard me and knew I was near,
You let me know, by the wiggle at the tip of your ear.

Your staying with me was a battle we were loosing,
Our years we have left here is God's choosing.

I told you Jesus was holding you in His arms and He had a special place for you to be,
Oh how I pleaded, please close your eyes and you will see.

You didn't want to leave me and hung on with all your might,
At day break I carried you into the sun light.

The whole night through, I am sorry I could not pray for you to stay,
I knew this life is only temporary and God has His way.

Life's most difficult time came when we can't listen to our heart,
Comes a time we must do our part.

I told Daddy you needed to hear his voice,
He came to you although this timing was not his choice.

He told you how very much you are loved and how very special you are,
Then, in a blink of an eye within Jesus arms He carried you afar.

Oh how hard it was to take care of the next decision we had to make,
To have to bury you I could not take.

We now have your remains in a urn but forever this cant be,
One day in a special place your remains will be along with Daddy and Me.

Together we'll be in Heaven forever set free.
